Using Learning
Remote Controls
The Nº31.5 includes both an infrared receiver and an infrared transmitter. With
this capability, it can “teach” a learning remote control any commands that might
be needed for remote operation that do not exist on the remote control itself.
Specifically, the Nº31.5 can send these additional IR commands from its display
window, enabling you to teach a learning remote any or all of its front- (or top-)
panel commands, as well as some optional special commands that are available
to solve specific installation-related problems.
The Nº31.5 has two special modes of operation into which it may be placed in
order to facilitate the “teaching” of remote control commands to a learning re-
mote control. The first allows you to easily teach the commands for which there
are corresponding front panel buttons. The second allows you to teach “special”
commands to the remote control for which there are no corresponding front
panel buttons.
Teaching Nº31.5 Front
Panel Commands
1 PRESS AND HOLD THE REPEAT DISC BUTTON TO ENTER THE FRONT PANEL
TEACHING MODE
The display will show TEACH IR to indicate that the Nº31.5 is ready to teach
a learning remote control the infrared commands that correspond to its
front- and top-panel buttons.
If you change your mind, simply don’t touch any button for ten seconds
and the Nº31.5 will return to normal operation. (Hint: you may remember
that this special “hidden” feature of the Nº31.5 is accessed via a press-and-
hold of the repeat disc button by associating its use with the external IR
“repeaters” so often used in custom installations; the functionality found
here is of most value in such installations.)
2 PRESS ANY FRONT- OR TOP-PANEL BUTTON TO CAUSE THE Nº31.5
TO SEND THE CORRESPONDING IR COMMAND
Line up the IR window of your remote control with the right side of the
Nº31.5 display (to the right of where seconds normally display), at a dis-
tance of approximately 2"-6". Select the to-be-learned button on the remote,
then press the corresponding button on the Nº31.5 to fire the appropriate IR
code. The display will change to indicate the sending of the IR signal:
sending code. When it reverts to TEACH IR, it is ready to issue the next
command to be learned.
Most learning remotes need to be held fairly still while they learn new IR
commands; movement can garble the received IR. If you are uncertain as to
how to prepare your remote control for learning new commands, refer to
the instructions provided with the remote control.
